Is this just a 190E 2.3 Group A with Carlsson stickers, or does it have a 3,5 litre engine?

Indeed Ferrer it is a 2.3 Gr.A 190E, also the year is wrong as Carlsson ran that livery during the 1986 ETCC.

For once i can be certain since i helped build the TCL mod for rFactor which is based on Gr.A and includes around 90% of the cars/liveries from each series ETCC , BTCC , ATCC , DTM + a handful of JTCC.

Nice photos all the same tho ag84, can't be 100% on the track but i'd say it was Spa Francochamps.

No, the livery was different. I'd say all signs point to the 1986 Donington 500.

I would have to agree for the first photo (the #10 Schnitzer 635's bumper was dislodged in exactly the same way it appears in that shot) but the track layout for Donington doesn't match what we're seeing in the second photo, Donington i'm sure has never had a long right left chicane with that row of trees behind the fencing.

Having done a little digging around i'm more inclined now to think that one was taken at Brno, since the #84 IMC Corolla GT ran there whereas it never showed up to the Donington race.
